Biotic explores the potential of a biologically grown material, bacterial cellulose—a biofilm created by living microorganisms during fermentation.
The resulting material is translucent, flexible, biodegradable, and has leather-like properties. During growth, textures, translucency, thickness, and color naturally vary, giving each piece a unique character. It can also be dyed with natural pigments and fruit-waste colors, creating diverse patterns and hues.
Biotic demonstrates how living materials can inspire thoughtful, sustainable design through craft, experimentation, and the material’s inherent possibilities.
